`My invention relates to conveyer rollers and has for its'principal object a roller that islight in weight, simple in construction, dura-bleA and v particularly adapted for use With roller bearings.

The invention consists principally in pro' viding'a hollow conveyer roller with an inner tubular member having flanged ends s'e-f cured to the roller and in the parts and combinations of and claimed.
